Hey all,
Here might be a way to improve performance and get more ram. I'm still getting crashes and I assume it's memory leaks in chrome. What about taking a look at https://github.com/raspberrypi/pi-gen-micro and seeing if there is something there we can steal?

Is it for distros with GUI/Desktop environments?
Does it come with the browser preinstalled?
Can we run setup script on top of it?

From what I've understood so far, the dependencies needed to run PiOSK on top of the ultra thin image, practically ends up making it same as the official desktop image that comes out of normal pi-gen (non-micro). We don't save much resource, so it ends up being an extra effort to manage dependencies separately.

I haven't tried out pi-gen-micro first hand though, so please correct me if I'm off the lane.
